Appsink: How to drop samples?

[Ilya Aleshkov]

Hi,

I have a pair of pipelines for recording (thanks to Nicolas Dufresne):

ksvideosrc ... ! tee name=t
    t. ! queue ! glimagesaink
    t. ! queue ! appsink

appsrc ! x264enc tune=zerolatency ! video/x-h264,stream-format=byte-stream ! filesink location=video.h264

My app pass the samples from appsink to appsrc when needed. Everything works.

But I have to always keep the emit-signals property enabled. I guess It's not good for performance. Am I right? If I enable emit-signals only while recording I get a large time shift in recorded files. It looks like buffering inside appsink. How to drop these samples?

Thanks,

Ilya

First thing I would try, set properties drop=1 and max-buffers=1 (or a
decently low value) on appsink.
